web technology - a short research in Vancouver technology industry

May 16, 2016

  As a software programmer, Julia noticed that she was out of date from 2010 - 2015. She started to do a little research here and there, try to catch up small details. 10 - 20 minutes a time,  "What is hot in Vancouver area - IT skills".

  Starting from August 2015, she started to learn OO principle: S.O.L.I.D.. She came cross the topic by a small talk with a manager from Microsoft in 2015. She started to follow the principles and write a lot of small classes and functions. She also feels less stressful to handle frequent code change in live website.

  She noticed that in the city of Vancouver, the principle is also very popular this year 2016.
